Unanimous.
This was important.
Unanimous.
Pleasantly surprised that it's 3-0
I think the losing streak for Trump will continue in the Supreme Court, at least on lifting the suspension.
+1
Afraid of the Supreme Court ruling, but at the very least, the window for people with visas to entry the country widened a bit.
McCain should fire back on the loser comments
Best part is it was unanimous. We'll see how it plays out. 9th Circuit tends to get shit on by SCOTUS.
So they'll appeal to SCOTUS, discover that having 8 judges mean there's 0 chance of overturning the 9th, and that'll be that.
I wonder if the odds of SCOTUS overturning it would be higher if the Senate had done their jobs and approved Garland. He was very much a compromise candidate and there would have been a non-zero chance he would have sided with Trump.

"Rather than present evidence to explain need for EO, Govt has taken position that we must not review its decision at all. We disagree"
This is what I expected, at least with the TRO.
The decision on the actual lawsuit is a tougher question.
The Supreme Court decides whether or not they take a case. Unless the various suits on this order turn out wildly differently (or they think one of the appeals courts got it badly wrong), I wouldn't be surprised if they just let the circuits handle it. Roberts probably doesn't want to throw himself into a political minefield if he can help it.
If they spit on ideological lines it'll be 4-4 which means the ninth districts order stands.
Do you think Trump has that kind of patience?Can they wait to ask for review until their man is on the Supreme Court?
So now its going to the supreme court to totally repeal it, you know republicans are going to ram Gorsuch as fast as possible through to make it a 5-4 decision in Chump's favor.
IMO but I don't think SCOTUS will take the case just yet. They'll hear it on the merits, but I don't think they'll hear this TRO appeal.

If the racist piece of shit is really nutso, he could remove all three judges from the Ninth Circuit (he did remove Sally Yates for standing up for America) and appoint new judges or declare martial law indefinitely and keep the travel ban in place anyway.
Still, get fucked Trump.
